Gilberto Giles-Sosa, a native of Houston, Texas, found solace and self-expression in the arts while growing up in an unstable environment. At 12, Gilberto's life transformed when his mom took him to an open call they heard on the radio in Houston. This opportunity led them to Los Angeles, where he pursued his childhood dream of becoming an actor. However, he eventually returned to Houston from this journey, and Gilberto's passion shifted toward the behind-the-scenes aspects of the industry. So, he delved into cinematography, editing, and directing, embracing a multifaceted artistic pursuit, eventually landing him an opportunity to join a competitive Texas filmmaking program that granted him admission to one of Houston's most prestigious private high schools.
In 2016, Gilberto's talent and dedication to filmmaking were recognized when his musical short film became an Official Selection for the Texas High Schools Shorts Competition at SXSW.
Following his high school graduation, Gilberto faced a pivotal decision. Despite being offered a life-changing opportunity to attend Moody College at the University of Texas at Austin, he drove to Los Angeles. Numerous challenges, personal growth, and change, accompany this pursuit of the entertainment industry dream.
By surrendering his admission to UT-Austin, Gilberto fully immersed himself in filmmaking, digital media, and other areas of the industry. In 2017, he found himself in Mexico City, where he became a public figure on social media for creative content he posted online. With this, he built a following of almost a million people on Instagram and was watched by hundredths of millions on YouTube.
In 2020, Gilberto's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish an entertainment company empowering emerging Latinx creatives. As the owner and CEO, he provides valuable services and resources to support their careers in the entertainment industry, fostering a supportive community.
In 2023, Gilberto's journey brought him to the streets of New York City, rediscovering his childhood passion for acting. While Gilberto's acting career is still in its early stages, his talent as a film director has already gained attention. Through self-learning and collaborations with exceptionally talented individuals, he produced several newcomer short films that achieved viral success, reaching tens of millions of viewers online.
